A sprawling high reaching from New England to across the Gulf of Mexico has resulted in freshening breezes on Keys waters. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all Keys waters. Winds are expected to trend upwards a bit more as the high tightens further the local pressure gradient. From late this weekend and early next week, the high will drive southwards towards the Bahamas and weaken slightly. Easterly breezes will gradually relax. Small Craft Advisories will eventually be pared back as conditions improve.

Climate
On this date in Keys Weather History, in 2003, a severe thunderstorm produced a 53 mph gust and 1/2" to 1&3/4" hail over the entire island of Key West for about 10 minutes. This was the largest hail ever recorded in Key West, and tied the largest ever in Monroe County. And in 1980, hail smaller than 3/4" fell in Key West and an F2 tornado hit Cudjoe Key and/or Ramrod Key, resulting In 10 injuries and $250k in damage.
